This painting, a framed diptych, is influenced by a poem written by Alexis Rhone Fancher, expresses the intricacies of an idealized family unit situated within an ambiguous cultural and spiritual context. Each adult member assumes a role, shares their life knowledge and experiences, contributing to the greatest fulfillment of human development. Despite the apparent harmony, a lone child remains detached, sparking contemplation on the interplay between innate predispositions and environmental influences in shaping human attachment.

Pender Island, British Columbia
Kenna Barradell is a multimedia artist whose creations paint vivid narratives reflecting the events and attitudes prevalent within communities and society—a form of social commentary inviting discussion about difficult social and political issues. The majority of her works are large-scale acrylic paintings on linen.
"Ideas about community and social life inspire me to paint. The painting comes together as I work on the canvas completely from my imagination, very much like an author who writes fiction develops characters as she writes."
